SUPPORTING-TABLE.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, CHARLES A. Pn'oKET'r, acitizen of the United States, residing at Brooklyn, in the county ofKings and State of New York, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Supportinglables, of which the following is aspecification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in supportingstandards or tables and more particularly to a stand which is adapted tobe arranged within the sink to support the dish pan in spaced relationwith the bottom of the sink, the object of the invention being toprovide a stand or table, which is adapted to support the dish pan outof contact with any greasy slops or waste, which may be poured into thesink.

Another object of this invention is to provide a device of thischaracter which will possess advantages in points of efficiency anddurability, is inexpensive of manufacture and at the same time is simplein construction and operation.

With the above and other objects in view, the invention consists in thenovel features of construction and the combination and the arrangementof the parts to be hereinafter more fully described, pointed out in theclaim and shown in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is aperspective View of a supporting table constructed in accordance with myinvention; and Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view.

Referring more particularly to the drawings, 1 indicates the top of thetable which is constructed of galvanized sheet iron or any othersuitable material of this character, the marginal portions of which areflexed to afford the downwardly projecting flanges 2. Formed at one sideof the top and centrally arranged is a suitable opening 3 which may beused as a drain opening when the device is in use or may be used toreceive a nail or hook for suspending the table from Specification ofLetters Patent.

the wall when the device is not in use. Ar-

ranged at each corner of the top 1 are the tubular supporting legs, 4,said supporting legs being soldered or otherwise secured to the top andfurther braced by means of the angular corner pieces 5, the upper endsof which are soldered or riveted to the downwardly projecting flanges 2and the lower ends thereof tapered and secured to the legs t upon theouter sides thereof whereby it will be readily observed that aconvenient and effective means is provided whereby adjacent ends of theflanges are held against separation or distortion.

Arranged within the lower end of the tubular supporting legs 5 are theshanks 6, which are formed integral with the supporting feet 7, saidshanks and feet being prefe'ably cfmstructed of rubber, as shown in thea i:comp:mying drawings, so that when the device is placed in a sinklined with enamel or other similar material, the same will not becomemarred or scratched by the constantmoviugabout of the table. In washingdishes, it a very convenient custom to place the dish pan in the kitchensink on account of the convenience to the drain board, but manyobjections are made to this operation on account of the sink being toolow.

It is the principal object of my invention to support the dish pan at asufficient height so that the bottom of the dish pan will be practicallyupon a level with the drain board. It will also be apparent that thedish pan is supported in spaced relation with the sink so that anygreasy waste, which may be placed in the sink will not come in contactwith the dish pan. It will also be apparent that my device is extremelysimple in construction and can be manufactured at comparatively lowcost.

While I have shown and described the preferred form of my invention, itwill be obvious that various changes in the details of construction andin the proportions may be resorted to for successfully carrying myinvention into practice without sacrificing any of the novel features ordeparting from the scope of the appended claiin.

What I claim is 5 A device of the character described including a tophaving its marginal portions flexed to form depending flanges,supporting legs soldered to the top and the inner faces of the flangesat adjacent ends of such 10 flanges, and angular brace plates solderedto the outer faces of the flanges at adjacent ends and overlying andsoldered to the supporting legs whereby such flanges are held againstdistortion.

ln testimony whereof I hereunto my 15 signature in the presence of twoWitnesses.
